DEVELOPMENT OF BEET SUGAR INDUSTRIES IN THE WORLD AND THE EXAMPLE OF ALPULLU SUGAR FACTORY

Abstract

Andraeas Sigismond Marggraf discovered sugar from beet, instead of historically

important cane. Although commercial potential; beet sugar did not attract attention of

entrepreneurs for fifty years, up until to Napoleonic Wars. But later, due to the war and

commerce difficulties, beet sugar production was rapidly spread in Continental Europe. After

France, Germany and Austria, beet sugar crossed Atlantic and reached USA. From the middle

of 19th century up to 1930’s, competition in between beet and cane sugar continuously lasted.

In this fierce competition, sometimes beet and sometimes cane became successful. As to

Turkey, newly establishing sugar industry was founded over sugar beet, because of climatic

and geographic conditions. Turkish government enacted supporting laws to promote new

entrepreneurs to sugar industry. With encouraging attitude of government, Mehmet Şakir

Kesebir and his friends founded a company to build and manage Alpullu Sugar Factory in

1925. Factory was established with German technology. Thracian peasants were educated for

cultivation of sugar beet to supply raw material needs. This new but profitable agriculture

type was quickly become popular among Thracian villagers. On the other hand, factory

management tried to attain a strong place in local market. After ten years operation, factory

was nationalized by establishment of Turkish Sugar Industries Incorporation.
